Emphatic Win for Jackson as Vas Takes La Roja

Moncofa, Monday, April 29th 2023

She had warned that a stage win was her goal for the week, and she got it already on Monday. Alison Jackson (EF Education-Cannondale) took an excellent victory at Moncofa, finish town for the 2nd stage of La Vuelta Femenina 24 by Carrefour.es, that she celebrated on her trademark, emphatic style. The Canadian national champion defeated Blanka Vas (SD Worx-Protime) and Karlijn Swinkels (UAE Team ADQ) in the reduced bunch sprint that decided a stage that was defined by its wet weather conditions. The 10” bonus seconds scored at the intermediate sprint and the finish line enabled Vas to take the Red leader jersey from Lidl-Trek’s Gaia Realini. The Hungarian national champion will have to defend it tomorrow on a lumpy stage between Llucena and Teruel.
